Jeremy Essig’s LOSER: A Live Action Game (Shame) Show @ SPiFFY SQUiRREL Comedy Show (The East Room) 6/22/2014

 Jeremy Essig's  LOSER: A Live Action Game (Shame) Show @ SPiFFY SQUiRREL Comedy Show - 6/22/2014 8pm:

An Olympiad of pop culture featuring live karaoke with tiny instruments, a video game and pizza roll eating contest sponsored by Totinos, Inter-Gender Sitcom Theater and more, “Loser. – A Live Action Shame Show” will embark on its first tour this summer.

The brainchild of comedian Jeremy Essig (Brian Posehn Tour Mate, appearances on NPR) and Chris Ward (DJ on KDHX, former Twisted Toyfare Theatre writer) Loser. is a night of karaoke, bar trivia, video game competitions and sketch comedy rolled into one two-hour show.

A four-part game show, Loser., begins with music trivia and a slightly skewed version of “Don’t Forget the Lyrics.” The show then moves to its video game portion where contestants are awarded points for both their gaming skills and ability to complement those skills with pizza rolls. Shifting to contestant’s ability to draw superheroes into real-life scenarios in the show’s third round, the game ends with a local sketch group performing a dark and occasionally offensive fan-fiction version of a popular sitcom. Holding this madness together are co-hosts Essig and Ward, pop-culture aficionados whose humor provides a backbone for what would otherwise be an unwieldy plethora of cultural delights.

After a successful year in the show’s home base in St. Louis, Loser. is venturing out this June to test the pop culture acumen of contestants across the eastern part of the country with stops in Bloomington, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Washington DC, New York City and Columbus Ohio before hitting The East Room in Nashville.

Jeremy and Chris will be joined by Nashville-based comedians Jim Seward, Kate Spellman, Brett Cantrell, Meredith Whitsett and DJ Buckley who will participate in the sketch comedy portion of the show. They’re also looking for non-comic contestants to participate in the fun. If you’re interested, e-mail loseragameshow@gmail.com

Todd Snider’s “East Nashville Tonight” screening @ The East Room – 4/13/2014

East Nashville Tonight screening at The East Room 4/13 after SPiFFY SQUiRREL

On February 12, 2013 the Barnes Brothers began shooting a documentary in East Nashville, starring Todd Snider and Elizabeth Cook. Its purpose was to promote touring songwriters from the neighborhood.

They failed.
Instead, drugs took over.
Instead they made…”East Nashville Tonight” – A hypothetical documentary stoner musical.

The Nashville Scene wrote, “if you’ve ever wanted to see Middle Tennessee’s world-renowned paradise of gentrified bohemia get a Cheech and Chong-worthy This Is Spinal Tap treatment, here goes.”

Here’s the film trailer:
